Niehorst Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Any helicopter with a two seat cockpit would be great, as I said in another thread..! I think a NATO chopper is the best enhancement for the DCS world. Cant explain myself why they wanna make the A10 the second release. If it must be a plane, than it would be nice to call the fixed wing birds, while observing the enemy from a hovering position. But no matter what will be the next release, I hope it wont take long! :thumbup: NZXT H400i case i9 9900k @ 4,9GHz (cooled by NZXT Kraken X62 4x140Fan - Push/Pull) Asus RoG Maximus XI Gene with 32GB G.Skill CL14 Samsung M.2 970Pro 1000GB ZOTAC RTX 2080ti Triple Fan 11GB 34" RoG Swift Curved TFT runs smooth like Beck's Gold :D HTC VIVE pro eYe (still freaking out!)

Eddie Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Voted for the AH-64A, mainly for the same reasons other have mentioned. While I'd really love a WAH-64 (Brit Longbow) with much of the radar system still classified it'd be impossible to produce a true study sim.
agamemnon_b5 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 (edited) As with the jet sims, there have been quite a few sims involving the Apache. The Hind has been involved in far more real world conflicts than the Apache against a variety of targets (armored in otherwise) in a variety of terrain. Imagine the versatility and gameplay options (not to mention the challenge of flying without modern aviaonics). Probably a reason why the flight sim genre nearly fell out in the 1990's; too many games that rehashed the same concepts. Part gunship, part transport helicopter, part high altitude assault platform, part Septnaz support helo is the way to go. Edited January 3, 2009 by agamemnon_b5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Debio Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 thank you everyone for submitting your opinions. just to be clear: this was not an attempt to state what ED should work on next, but rather a rotory wing opinion poll since there was only a fixed wing poll that i could see. at any rate, ED apparently knows its target audience well. i believe that the Apache will be the next heli addition to DCS - the poll shows that is what people want next, it seems. after that the next heli addition may very well be the Hind, ya? cheers...

Duke49th Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I voted for AH64A and the Cobra(yet not sure if the W has radar). Helo's with radar is not realistic because of classified systems. If it would be possible, I would prefer the Eurocopter:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 49th Black Diamonds - DCS & Falcon BMS Online Squad
coder1024 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I still recall playing an Apache sim on the commodore 64 (I think). I'd love to see a new Apache sim. I'm looking forward to learning the Ka-50, though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] coder1024 72nd Virtual Fighter Wing Falcon 4.0 Allied Force Pit Trainer FalconLobby
sobek Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 AH-64D for sure as i would be very much interested in the modern systems, but seeing that lot of it is classified and that such a thing will most likely not happen in the next 10 years, i'd go with the A variant. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
experimental_pilot Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Well, the results are in.... Longbow it is!! Now get to work ED!! :D
hitman Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 The AH-1W does not contain a RADAR for ground targeting. Its straight up optical only. However, this would be my first dib, but we all know the Apache A will be next. Dont get your hopes up on a D model.

Sharkster64 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I voted Apache all the way. I know we'll never get the Longbow, so I have to go with Apache. I would love to see the Cobra as well. Here is another one I would love to see after watching an hour long special on discovery channel about it. The V-22 Osprey. I think that the capabilities of this airframe are truly awesome. This is something that has definitely never been done in a sim. :thumbup: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Call Sign: Warhammer
joey45 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 cobra. The're doing tha 64a anyway. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Sharkster64 Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Yeah but what are you going to do with it? Its better off being an ArmA addon. Use it in a troop transport role. Its not all about the attack role [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Call Sign: Warhammer
Copperhead Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 (edited) I love the Longbow. However, an AH-64D would create an unfair advantage in head-to-head multiplayer sessions with KA-50. The millimeter wave radar offers superior target acquisition in terms of speed and efficiency. One single sweep with a clear line of sight for the top mounted radar is all you need. You don't even need to put your wingmen in danger by sending them out for visual recon. Once the data is shared among the flight team, all the radar guided hellfire missiles could be launched from behind cover. Throw the FLIR in for all weather and day/night capability and everyone would be rooting for the Longbow. Edited April 28, 2009 by Copperhead
Razorback Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Hello guys, I am flying with BS since few weeks. I am still busy with training mission. Since 4 days I have build some missions : "Search and destroy". Believe me, find a tank platoon placed on a hill and hide into the trees is not so easy. Where is the FLIR !!!! It's really missing. Even during the day mission For me the most beautiful helcopter is the "Hind" but if a have to choose a real helicopter build for combat,I have no hesitation : I want to fly with the AH-64 Longbow !!!! We want the apache, wa want the apache,...:D:D:D Have a nice fly Razorback
WynnTTr Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 Dunno why the 64D is in there. It's still classified. so you'll never see the Longbow done for a very long time.... we're talking years. ED only works with de-classfied data as they don't want to be guessing as to how an aircraft will perform. The standard has been set with BS - and I for one am grateful that it's so high. So I'd edit any poll to realistically reflect what they are capable of doing. Not wishful thinking.
